De Minaur has beaten Ivashka before. That match ended 6-4, 6-2. It’s not ruled out that Alex will win again. Anyway, Ilya hasn’t looked very confident in this match yet. It’s likely that the favourite will win comfortably.
It’s likely that the upcoming match won’t be over quickly. Ivashka is determined to put up a good fight after all. The last three matches of the Belarusian ended in three sets. It’s likely that something similar will happen now.

The main achievement for Ivashka was his victory over Tommy Paul (6-2, 3-6, 6-1) in the quarterfinals. In the decisive set, he lost only one game to Paul. Maybe it wasn’t such a sensation, but the result was still a bit surprising.
In the second round, Ivashka defeated Steve Johnson (4-6, 6-2, 6-4). In the first round, his opponent was Quentin Halys (6-0, 3-6, 6-3).
